I tried Keystone K-280 by William Lawrence  
in Neck and mid position of a strat.  
For comparison I had Seymour Duncans  
Vintage Staggered Strat, Fender American  
Standard, Dimarzio Virtual Vintage  
and finally Kinman Avn56.  
 
Ranking tone-wise:  
1)Kinman Avn56.  
2)Fender American Standard  
3)Seymour Duncans Vintage Staggered Strat  
4)Dimarzio Virtual Vintage  
5)Keystone K-280 by William Lawrence  
 
The K280 had by far the best hum suppression,  
strong magnet pull and were pretty loud.  
 
They use steel pole pieces that extend through  
2 stacked coils. Between the coils,  
ceramic magnets are attached.  
 
I'm not aware about the difference between  
the Keystone K280 and the current D280.
